Prolific London producer Lxury returns to the Lost Palms catalogue, this time with his second-ever solo long play – a honey-dipped journey through the rainbow colours of house music and its adjacent styles.

Living up to his name, no room is spared in Lxury’s careful curation of full-bodied soundscapes which make for a truly immersive listening experience. Emotion-laden melodies and glistening pads grant permission for shameless self indulgence, whilst flickers of cooler, harsher tones add dynamism and depth. At times, this sounds like anthemic melodies, reverberating claps and sunshine-doused pads («Motion» and «YT Storm»); at others, like mournful female vocals which are chopped and looped beneath a shuffling drum pattern («Get Down On»). Elsewhere, highly-processed flutes and video-game-esque samples transport you to a neon speedway («Ninja H2R Flyby») before industrial-sounding textures and down-tempo rhythms ease things to a blissful close («Ride»). No matter where it is that Vivid Night Experience takes you, playfulness and warmth are guaranteed: two descriptors which have become synonyms with the Lxury’s musical output.
